"Unter the rule of Wilt and siGkRery which
meant the rule of the white man, Louisiana

EL1JAH HAYES and his wife, old PEG,
pie residing at Warsaw, Koscinsko
county, Indiana, without heirs, have
just made the largest private donation
10 the mission cause in the history of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. The
donation consists of property valued
at $4,000. The old people, who
live exceedingly frugal lives, only
asked 10 retain an income of $500 a
year, but the Board Of Missions de-
cIined to accept the gift unless they
would agree to receive $1,000. They
also retain life interest in their resi-
dencc, which cost $4,000.

1t strikes US as extremely absurd for the
Reformers--whieh means Nichols supporters
to claim all the credit for the redemption
of the State for ex-(IoY Nichols. while Lon
isiana Is full of patriotic men who did as
mueh yea, more, than he did, towards seenF-
ing its redemption. How ungrabefnl and IN
lust it is to ignore the services OF the hnn-
tlreds of LonlsisniaRs who. solely for the sake
Of their State, worked so hard and faithfully
to secure its redemption, to thus attempt to
rob them Of the credit they merit.

4.2O5 FOR LATROBE.

A Quiet Election, But a "R sfOrmer'' Shoots
His sMan-Republicans Surprised.
BALTIMORE, October 26.-Considering
the exciting campaign preceding it, to-
day 5 election for Mayor passed off with
unusual quietness. There were few dis
turbances Of small Importance and one
fatal shooting affray, in which Edward
Alters, an Independent Democrat, shot
and killed Edward Darby, one of the regu-
lars. Alters friends claim the shooting
was accidental, but he was placed under
arrest and will be charged with murder.
The vote polled aggregated 65,O75, Of
which Latrobe, Democrat, got "a, $40, and
Bartlett, Republican, ABS, giving La
trobe majority of 4,2O5, Democratic
gain Of nearly 2,OCO since the election for
Mayor two years ago.
The newly elected City Council will
consist of twelve Democrats and eight
Republicans in the First Branch and seven
Democrats and three Republicans in the
Second Branch.
The result of the election was a great
surprise to the Republicans, who counted
largely on the retOrmers' aid, and were
confident of victory. Already cries of
fraud are heard, and efforts will be made
to carry the State at the GubernatOrial
election two weeks hence.

Although no outbreaks have occurred since

added to his band. There is now n sufli
cient number of troops here to prevent
further outbreaks, and the settlers need NJ

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 26.-The
President has granted pardon in the case
OF Henry NJ. Curkendall, convicted in the
Western district of Michigan of having
counterfeit coin in his possession, and SEN
fenced October 8, 1885, to four years i'm
prisonment. An application for the pardon
of Hunter PoOrbear, a Cherokee Indian,
convicted in the Western district of Ar
kansas of violating the pension laws, was
endorsed by the President as follows:
81 am unwilling generally to grant par
dons in cases of this description, but being
satisfied that this convict had no knowl-
edge of the law making his act a crime,
and upon the recommendation of the
Judge and District Attorney his pardon is
granted"
In the case of VIM. S. Kirker, convicted
in the Southern district of Ohio of making
false entries in books of the National Bank
of Ironton, O., and sentenced February 4,
1885, to five years Imprisonment, the

years actual Imprisonment, with no deduc'
tion for good conduct.

GOULD'S SHARPNESS.
From the Inside of the Telegraph Deal
How It was Accomplished.

From the Inside of the Telegraph Deal
How It was Accomplished.
BALTIMORE, October GA gentleman
of this city, who has been in close personal
relations with Mr.. Robert Garrett, denies
emphatically the statement made in the
New York Tribune, in which Mr.. Gould
claimed that the negotiations which re-
suited in his purchasing the Baltimore and
OhioTelegraph were begun by him withMr.
Garrett personally. His version is that
some time previous to the departure of Mr..
Garrett for Europe, Mr.. Gould, in the course
of conversation, offered Mr.. Garrett S., ,O00,-
900 for the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph.
Mr.. Garrett positively and emphatically
refused and stated that he would not, un-
der any circumstances whatever, sell for
less than $40, ,000,O0
A little later Mr.. Garrett went to
Europe, and while there organized syn
dictate of bankers in Amsterdam, who
agreed TO buy the Baltimore and Ohio
lines at Mr.. Garrett's figures, $40, 900, 900.
Jay Could was constantly posted through
his representatives and correspondents of
every movement made by Mr.. Garrett.
Meanwhile Mr.. Gould was in constant
communication with the officials of the
road and pressed them so strongly that
they finally gave their consent to the deal,
while Mr.. Garrett was on mid-Ocean en-
tirely ignorant of what was going on.
Among those who embarked with him
on his return trip to the United States,
was an Amsterdam banker, o member of
the syndicate, who had in his possession a
certified check for So, ,00O, 900, which was to
have been handed to Mr.. Garrett as soon
as the proper legal papers were drawn for
the transfer of the telegraph property.
The plan embraced a most powerful tele-
graphic combination, and comprised all ex-
isting cable and land lines outside OF those
controlled by Gould. On reaching New
York, Mr.. Garrett learned that his favor
ite property had been sold to Jay Gould
for $5, 600, 900 in Western Union stock and
leases which, capitalized, amounted to 3d.
000, 900 more. OF course this ended all
negotiations, which had been entered into
with the Amsterdam syndicate, and the
foreign banker took his $4,000, 900 check
back to Europe. The mental strain fol-
lowing these developments have, it is said,
proved too great for Mr.. Garret, and his
health has, in consequence, broken down.

Berating the Labor Apostle-The Chinese
Question all Important.
NEW YORK, October 26.-Haying failed
to get recognition at the hands of Henry
George, Dennis Kearney comes out to-
night with an open letter to George, be-
rating the latter and his party and declar-
ing in sand-lots Billingsgate that Chinese
immigration is the sole issue for the work.
ipgmen to-day. Kearney says that the
labor platform does not contain word of
interest to working people, but that ques-
tions of cheap diet, cheap religion, cheap
lodging, cheap clothing and cheap labor
are living and urgent questions; predicts
a condition of barbarism unless these
questions shall be promptly met, and ac-
cuses George of never having done any
thing practical for labor. He says he is
here to please himself, going on record as
friend or an enemy of labor, and it will
not do to sidetraCk the issue by saying
that Kearney has come on in the pay of
any clique or faction to ipjure George, and
he therefore demands that George meet
these questions in clear out English with
ont dodging or squirming. Kearney in
.simates that he is here to stay until the
workingmen shall take up the issues
which he outlines.

He Thinks PowelPs Chances of Election
Bright-Democrats Warming Up.
CLEVELAND, o., October 26.-Congress-
man Foran has just returned from stump
ing tour, and is quite hopeful that Powell
will be elected. Said he to-day: Had the
election taken place two weeks after Pow
ell was nominated he would have been
defeated by over 10000 votes, but within
the past the past two weeks the campaign
has taken fresh impetus, and it now
looks as if Foraker's majority would be
very small, if it is not wiped out altogether.
The trouble was that when the campaign
opened there was general dissatisfaction
among Democrats over the Government
appointments. This, of course, was con-
fined to those who were disappointed in
not securing appointments, but rs the fight
grew hot the old Democrats became warm
under the constant attacks of the enemy,
and they are now rs enthusiastic as any"
